Kwame Raoul: If Trump Was ‘Interested in Genuinely Fighting Crime,’ He Would Not Try to Defund the ATF

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
SHARPTON: “So do you find it unusual that you’ve not heard from federal authorities? With all of these imminent threats?”

RAOUL: “Absolutely. I do. Find it Unusual because we’ve had a history. Through both. The first Trump Administration. And the Biden Administration of collaborating with. Law. Enforcement partners. We have a tremendous police superintendent here. We have a good sheriff. We have a good state police director, and we have good special agents in charge. Of the Federal agencies who. Have been collaborating. On. Crime fighting and driving crime rates down. If the president were interested in genuinely fighting crime, he. Would not. Try to. Defund atf, not try to defund community. Violence interruption, not try to place conditions. On funding for victims of crime But he’s doing all of those things, which is inconsistent with the desire of. Fighting crime.”
